fell asleep to a simpsons stream last night. when I started coming to this morning I was having weird dreams that involved hearing the stream going on, yet seeing them as something completely different>one scene where iirc Skinner talking on the episode, but seeing Harry Shearer who appeared to be 'reciting' it (a la In The Actor's Studio) on a massive beach to an audience of, I guess, film students. There didn't seem to be an actual ocean anywhere, and there was some sort of battle going occurring in the distance

>>54641233Season 9 was the last consistently good series, with 10 being a step down while still having some good material (Mayored to the Mob is still probably in my top ten episodes), but the drop in quality between 10 and 11 was extremely notable.

>>54647441don't you know the simpsons have absolutely no consistency? if the characters behave uncharacteristically from episode to episode, or sometimes from scene to scene, its only because thats what the gag required.

>>54649010The newish one where he becomes some kind of superhuman freak. He wears someone else's face and is able to breath under water. Ridiculously over the top. It's one of the few newer episodes I've seen, I hope they're not all that terrible.

>>54649046Fuck off, the early Bob episodes are some of the best. (Cape Feare, the one where he runs for mayor, the one where he cancels television)

>>54649682Birch Barlow: Mayor Quimby, you are well known for your lenient stance on crime, but suppose for a second that your house was ransacked by thugs, your family was tied up in the basement with socks in their mouths, you try to open the door but there's too much blood on the knob....

>>54649727Some Enchanted Evening was meant to be the first episode of the series but when the animation came back from Korea it was so bad they almost cancelled the show. They had to reanimate every episode and that led to Christmas episode airing first.

>mom won't let me watch simpsons>uncle babysits me while she's at work>we watch simpsons and futurama and shoot guns all day>i loved the simpsons so much for some reason>mom quits work, barely get to see uncle>no simpsons for a while, eventually just forgot about it>finally watch it again>it's not good>think it's just the episode>watch 20 more new episodes>none of them are good>i will never be a kid againthere is no god

>>54652600>tfw I'll sit with my dad to watch the simpsons on sunday evening>I'll never be four againSome of my earliest memories are of watching the simpsons with my family as a little kid. I still enjoy those early episodes and seasons, the recent ones just have no substance.

daily reminder that the people who come to this thread-spout memes-believe in /pol/shit-act like they're above family guy/other cartoons-act like a show that's always been drawn incredibly simplistically has gone to shit because it's now drawn in a different incredibly simplistic way-are old and jaded and blame the simpsons for this

daily reminder that /tv/ views the simpsons through nostalgia blinders and if "classic" episodes (especially the ridiculous Conan ones like Homer Goes to College where Homer is a literal Peter Griffin-tier retard) had aired today they'd call them terrible. The humor is incredibly outdated and just doesn't hold up anymore.

however i don't like that you got there by shitting on family guy and conan obrien>>54653093and only people who never have face to face conversations have gotten so used to this "people who have x opinion i don't like must be y" copout

So the Simpsons have already shown how progressive they are by making Grandpa gay. The next logical step is to make someone a transgender. My guess is that it's gonna be Milhouse who will make the transition

>>54641342Nigga i remember when i was off work sick and fell asleep to futurama marathon, keot drifting in and out to that episode where fry gets stung by a bee, seeing everyone sing 'dont worry be happy' while exploding made me 100% sure i was dreaming weird shit

>>54646470>>54646684I assume it has something to do with religion. I recognize the former episode as one where Homer thought he was going to die from eating poison blowfish, so he stayed up late listening to the Bible on tape. I don't recognize the newer episode on the right though.

>>54653149>They were giving it their all.lol that's actually a pretty big insult to the people who were animating this. you really think they couldn't draw any better than that? for fuck sake, even back then pretty much every surface was one solid colour with little to no shading on anything

>>54653334>what part of my post are you having trouble with?the part where you assume someone is afraid of da gays because he whined about a new simpsons in "whine about how we don't like the simpsons anymore" general

>>54652033>Yo yo! Santa's Little Helper is in the house! Oooooh!I don't know why this makes me cringe so much.Also what's with the awkward pause where no one does or says anything after the anime Simpsons come in?

Though it was mildly funny they got the Pixar guy to do cgi Homer's voice

>>54650457I lasted a lot longer than you guysTreehouse of Horror 22 was the breaking point for meThe specific skit was this one in case you guys didn't see itThis was a real plot line, I didn't fake this, I copied this word for word from the wiki>In a parody of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Homer is quickly paralyzed by a black widow spider and is thus unable to speak, hinting that his case is called Locked-in syndrome ... While Lisa is reading a long book to Homer, Homer tries to tell Lisa he doesn't want to listen, and starts farting repeatedly. Lisa figures out that Homer can communicate this way. Then, Homer is bitten by another spider, and turns into a superhero parodying Spider-Man. He then has a dark-blue and red costume and can now fart out spider-webs. Or as Chief Wiggum put it, "ass webs".

>>54649963I have to admit I was pretty mad that her and Ruth were only featured in a couple episodes. I thought they brought an interesting and modern (for its perspective) on the show as a single mother and daughter.

>>54641176For me, that's exactly why. I had barely grasped the concept of bowel control when the simpsons stopped being in its "golden age". I grew up with seasons 12-16 before my interest waned and was eventually killed off entirely by that sadgasm episode.

When I looked back at what had once been in seasons 1-4, it was almost shameful that I ever enjoyed episodes like "All's Fair in Oven War" and "Jaws Wired Shut".

>>54644625I would argue that the decline was noticeable in season 5. A few stinkers notwithstanding such as "The Crepes of Wrath", The Simpsons was fairly grounded in realistic scenarios. Season 4 started to push it a bit and then season 5 just went all out. Homer goes to space! Bart gets an elephant! Homer and a few others were one of the biggest bands around for a brief period of time and yet nobody else seems to remember it! Gambling was legalized and casinos were built overnight, then completely abandoned and forgotten about just as quickly!

Not to mention some of the earliest appearances of Jerkass Homer. You had statements in previous seasons such as "just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't notice", but never anything as contemptible as making fun of Marge for her gambling addiction or spending an entire episode berating Bart before nearly getting everyone killed over and over.
